NEW: FSO Volunteer Info (Family & School Organization)
We are looking for volunteers and donations. Volunteering is a great opportunity to get involved
and give back to our amazing school and staff. Here are what we are looking for.
Reading University Store
We are looking for parents who would help on October 9th with the reading university store. This is where students pick a prize for their reading. This is a morning commitment from 8:15am- 12:00pm. If you are interested to help, please sign up. If you have any questions, please
email draper1fso@apamail.org. Here is the sign up link.https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0F48AAAC2DA7FA7-reading
Parent Teacher Conference dinner/ lunch for Teachers
This year we are changing it up. We will be ordering from Zuppas for dinner and providing snacks for breakfast/ lunch for Teachers. Volunteers will be needed to help deliver food to the teachers and to also provide donations for the meal. Donations will be individually wrapped or packages. Additionally, families can donate gift cards to Sams Club, Costco, or Zuppas and we can purchase items needed for the meals. The signup genius will have opportunities for both volunteers and donations. Monetary donations count for volunteer hours as well ( $10=1 hour of volunteering). Food Donations can start coming to school October 19th. Here is the link to sign up.https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0F48AAAC2DA7FA7-parent2
FSO Leadership
We are look for individuals who love APA, enjoy volunteering, someone who likes to organize and plan events, and ultimately who really wants to get involved. If this is something that might interest you, please send an email to Erin at draper1fso@apamail.org or talk to Mrs. Mulcahy.
NEW: 2020-2021 School Land Trust Program
“The School LAND Trust program brings tens of millions of dollars annually to academic programs in public schools across Utah. The funds are generated from school trust lands... Each public school in Utah elects a school community council consisting of parents, teachers, and the principal. Charter Schools have Trust Lands Councils... Each council carefully reviews student assessments and progress to decide which academic areas they want to focus on. Plans are developed to improve student academic performance in the identified academic areas with the annual School LAND Trust funds. The plans are approved by the council, submitted on this website, and approved by the local school board or chartering entity.” www.schoollandtrust.org.
Your Land Trust Committee Members for the 2020-21 School Year are: Mindy Peck
Danette Bushman
Doug Merrill
